Chocolate Smoothie Ice Pops

Before you think this is just another smoothie recipe, bear with me. I promise you will want to read on. Do you ever have leftover smoothie? We often do. I hate to waste perfectly good food, and in many cases expensive additions such as protein and green powder. Instead of tossing it down the drain, make a smoothie ice pop. Smoothie ice pops are a perfect grab-and-go snack or a nutritious addition to a school lunch, or office lunch for that matter, my husband can confirm. Smoothie ice pops are such a huge hit in our house that most Sundays we make an extra thick smoothie specifically for the ice pop molds. The ingredients are endless, and you can sneak in a few healthy ingredients that might otherwise be refused, such as extra greens. Smoothie ice pops are a healthy alternative to yogurt tubes, which contain thickening and stabilizing agents, added sugars, and sometimes food dyes.

Our most recent creation is a new favorite.
